You are travelling throughout that incredible india, and Kerala is its sanctuary. Madilina house is ours it will become yours. Along a canal, located in an island at chennamangalam.

I just spent one night here but everything was exactly as described, and the pictures are all completely accurate. The host arranged a pickup from the airport which went very smoothly. It cost 800 rupees and takes around 45 minutes (it's not so far, but you are driving on narrow roads through many small villages, etc). This home is great - all built around a central courtyard which the bedrooms all face on to (there are several guest rooms, although I was the only guest when I stayed). It has also been filled with an eclectic assortment of furniture and art, which kept me amused just looking through it. The guest bedroom had very good A/C, and all the common rooms are also A/C (although it's not so hot and just having the large glass doors open keeps it at a pretty nice temperature anyway). The staff of the home were very friendly and happy to show me around, and made sure i had everything I needed. I thoroughly enjoyed meeting them and sitting on the porch, hearing some of their stories. Abhi also cooked me some dinner when I arrived in the evening, which was much appreciated after traveling for a few hours. The location of this home is perfect for anyone looking to 'get away from it' for a while, without actually getting too far away from it. It's only about 30 mins and a short ferry to get to the main township of Kochi, but it feels very rural when you are there, and you don't really see many neighbors or buildings around - apart from the odd fisherman floating by on the river. There are plenty of tranquil seats dotted around the property where you can sit, read, meditate or whatever you feel like - I liked sitting on the one next to the river just watching the flow go by... Recommended place to check out! (I could also really imagine this would be a fun place for a large group to book together, since it has several rooms and great common spaces where people could hang).

Chendamangalam breast-feeds the milk of communal harmony with temple, church, mosque and synagogue standing hand in hand in the same hamlet. Paravur is a confluence of palm groves, paddy fields, rippling lagoons and lambant China-nets.

We had a delightful stay at this highly executed property, which is tastefully decorated with the most beautiful South Indian antiques.

Indu' s place is like a dream in paradise . I was very impressed by the beautiful surroundings and comfortable accommodation . Each morning I sampled a different keralan breakfast which was part of the deal. The location is quiet and away from touristic developments . But they can arrange sight seeing trips for you . I borrowed a bicycle and toured the local area by myself very happily. There are also local buses that you can take for trips to the town and beach. Auto rickasaws are also available . The staff are all so friendly and helpful for what ever you may need. I had a wonderful holiday and hope to return some day.

I chose Indu's homestay for a reunion with my daughter who flew in from Australia and it was absolutely perfect. Indu met us individually at Kochi airport and made our stay relaxing and carefree. This is her home and nothing was too much trouble, including organising trips and transport. The room was a great size and we loved the freedom of the landscaped gardens and rooftop terrace. Indu cooked us traditional meals at modest extra cost. We were delighted to find a beautiful beach and heritage architectural walks within 6 km.

Our host welcomed us from the time the taxi pulled up - they were attentive to us and immediately helped get us comfortable and settled. The neighborhood around 36 Palms was very typical for Southern India. 36 Palms stands out - it's a beautiful building situated between palm trees and the ocean. The pictures online don't do it justice. I couldn't have imagined how beautiful and relaxing this place would be!

RondaApril 2016

If you are going to Kerala you should go to the 36 palms last as once you get there you will never want to leave . The hosts are kind and fun, the staff is great, the rooms are gorgeous, the food is delicious, and it is so peaceful and beautiful. You can swim in the lovely pool or the ocean as they are both right outside your door. My husband said, "I didn't know how much I needed to relax until we came here." We swam and ate and just enjoyed ourselves. Oh and dolphins come by in the morning. 36 Palms is fabulous!

Kellee & RobbDecember 2015

While moving around in Kerala (Up on mountain tops, pushing ourselves through busy crowds, roaming around in tea plantations, star watching from tree tops, kaftan shopping sprees, restaurant quests and beach strolls) we met many different people and experienced vast contrasts. We stayed in wonderful “homestays” where we felt we came closer to the locals and had many moments of not feeling like complete tourists (a very undesirable feeling). Some nights when the longing for a fluffy bed and a hot shower grew too strong we took break days at beach resorts. There we would rest, sunbathe and eat. No new friends but 8 hours of sleep. HOWEVER (Finally getting to the point) arriving at 36 palms, our last stop before returning to Sweden, we instantly sensed that this place had been able to combine it all. With a homestay loving atmosphere, the best cooking we had in India and with the most amazing rooms, fluffiest beds and nicest shower we loved every second of our stay. In the morning we woke up early and did yoga and guided meditations with the wonderful yoga instructor Briji. This was followed by a wonderful Keralan breakfast watching dolphins swimming past and eagles circling the beacharea and hours of shell searching, reading and drinking tender coconut water from one of the 36 palms. In the afternoon we took massages and reiki and various ayurvedic treatments, all equally amazing. In the nights we had freshly grilled herb stuffed fish with freshly made ciapatis and daal och salads. Dori and the entire staff were so increadibly kind and loving and we felt we never wanted to leave. Do not miss this place for the world, your body and your heart will thank you forever. 3 Johanna and Alexander

We arrived very early and the host was kind enough to let us rest and clean up in a lovely room until ours was ready -bliss after a very long journey. I has been unfortunate enough to get sick in dubai but the chefs masala omelette and they ayurveda massage made it all better! So sad that our trip itinary dosn't leave us time to go back before we fly home! We would love to come back here for an aniversary trip as it was a highlight of the honeymoon. Thank you! !!

I booked 36 palms for my brothers honeymoon and they came back with a great experience. To start with Gautam and Dorotha were super hospitable and helped me plan the entire surprise conveniently through a (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) group. I consider the convenience to have been a plus point and going forward all my little requests were executed splendidly. The food could get better, as a customer you should let them know your preferences to make your dining experience better. Overall, 36 palms left my brother and sister-in- law with a great experience and a big fat smile. Thank you for making it special Dorotha & Gautam!

We were made incredibly welcome by our hosts and our room far exceeded our expectations. It was very spacious and beautiful decor.. a real boutique quality place. The whole property is immaculate. fabulous pool... amazing clean sandy beach. We opted to have all our meals there and it was of the highest standard.. amazing Kerela food with a slight western twist ( fab salads). The whole experience was perfect.. we stayed 4 nights. One very minor thing was that my wife wanted a hairdryer but none were available. I know that will be fixed !!. We are already planning our return trip. 5 stars.
